CTO / Technologist that works at any scale. Startup experience in Silicon Valley, Seattle and Europe including with Prezi, Abebooks/Amazon.com, Plum/EBSCO, and Summon/Proquest. A creative mind towards modern, productive, and quick-to-market use of technology. And the best path for a business to get there. I cover the full gamut: hands-on low level work to conceptual ideas. Covering the full stack. I do tend to specialize towards Amazon AWS, JVM (Java, Kotlin), Aurelia, ElasticSearch, Solr, NoSQL, Flink, and Apache Spark. Although I have worked with endless other technologies as well, and I take a neutral non-religious approach to finding the best solutions for a client.

Data engineer with 10+ years of experience building analytical products and helping businesses make sense of their data. Skilled in MySQL, Elasticsearch, Spark, HDFS/Yarn/Hive/Presto, Python, Cassandra, Graphite/Grafana/Statsd/etc, Scala/Clojure, and a handful of other technologies that I'm probably forgetting.

Background in comp. sci. then research into evolutionary algorithms. Have helped several large clients (IBM, Google, Yahoo) to realize projects ranging from small additions to full stack implementations for mission critical systems.
